WaiBOP Football
WaiBOP Football is the governing body for amateur football in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions of New Zealand. It was formed in 1999 by the merger of the Waikato Football Association and the Bay of Plenty Football Association.
WaiBOP Football administers a number of leagues and competitions for men, women, and children of all ages. The top men's league is the WaiBOP League One, which is a feeder league to the Northern League. The top women's league is the WaiBOP League One W-League.
WaiBOP Football also offers a number of development programs for players of all ages. These programs include the Junior Framework, which provides a pathway for players from the age of 5 to 17, and the WaiBOP Football Academy, which provides elite training for players aged 16 to 19.
